Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

Very, very good update.

The images of forged Sandtraps were amazing.
Very, very well done.

Still not buying HW LE though.

On a strange separate note, I've kinda been liking the default Foundry a bit more, especially with BR starts.

I've got to say I'm really excited for Mythic based on what I've seen so far.
Looks more like Halo 2... like everyone at Bungie is really clicking right now.

Keep it up.

New maps look really nice.

  • 02.13.2009 5:16 PM PDT

And thus Bungie took one large step closer to their ultimate goal of world domination.

I tried to sign my signature here but the pen busted off in my screen.
:(

Wow! Took me by complete surprise twice in one week with the additional Sandbox areas! Thank you Bungie!

Typical Halo nerd. Move along.

OMG a Crypt! Epic Bungie. Just Epic. Wonderful screens and it's nice to finally see the Flamethrower again in Multiplayer. I can't wait to tear into these new Maps! (After playing some Halo Wars of course...)

Great update guys! I love the idea of the crypt, it's going to make forging on Sandbox amazing. I'm itching to get my hands on it.

Keep up the impressing info, it's making for an amazing few weeks!

The Crypt of Sandbox? I had no idea. The screenshots make it look so amazing even though it will be empty at first. Underground Grifball, haha. The three layers are really going to be interesting to mess around with in Forge. Great update on the Mythic map Sandbox.

IM A CRAZY POLISH MAN.

Sandbox is gonna be sweet i cant wait 3 LAYERS OMG what i would do is i would have 3 diffrent 2-way nodes so i can use all 3 layers that will be super deadly.

How could I forget? Excellent interview from designers Dan Miller and Lars Bakken on the architecture of Sandbox. Huge props to the Halo 3: ODST team that is sacrificing time off from work to continue on their hugely anticipated title. Have a good weekend and TGIF.

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

BFA, CCS - olde and bony & one minute musings.

Crazy. Here I was happy and amazed with two levels, but now three?
Rock on guys.

Sweet Update

  • 02.13.2009 5:58 PM PDT

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down. Therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat's back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground. If enough toast-laden felines were used, they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system.

I will be honest. Fallout and GTA have been pulling me away from Halo recently (as in, the past 3 months).

This will pull me back. Thank you Bungie, you don't disappoint.

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

I really think I can remake Chiron.

You have been warned!

  • 02.13.2009 6:03 PM PDT

Apocalyptic FTW

lol lol lol lol epic map move aside foundry MLG is going to have a good time with this map

  • 02.13.2009 6:15 PM PDT

Will some of the other variations (Tundra, etc.) be making an appearance in MM from the beginning, or will we only have the default setup for MM?

I really think I can remake Chiron.

And no one will be playing it....... why waste the effort? Make something that I at least won't KNOW is crappy....

It could be a pretty good ffa map. Chiron wasn't the flagship of halo ce, but it was a fun change of pace.

Our destiny is not frightful because it is unreal, it is frightful because it is irreversible and iron-clad. Time is the substance I am made of. Time is a river which sweeps me along, but I am the river. It is a tiger which destroys me, but I am the tiger. It is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire.

Breaking out the Graph paper is actually a good idea.

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

So is the crypt the exact size as a Foundry Grifball court?
